Could you switch, or do they hunt you down and kill you for being a traitor?
One of my best high school friends joined a frat, and to my shock he loved it. He didn't seem like the fraternity type at all. So like anything else, I'm sure that individual experiences can vary wildly.
I'll admit that I had a very bad formative experience that made me despise fraternities. My father owned a used car lot that was half a block away from the TKE frat house. The fraternity members would come out in the middle of the night and kick out the windows of his cars just for fun. He got several of them arrested eventually, but the president of the fraternity and other officers lied to the police to try to cover for the criminals who got caught. The TKE house was nothing but an organized criminal gang, so that was my perception of all fraternities when I went into college.
